The
Brothers in Arms Foundation was established after LT Brendan Looney, US Navy
SEAL and 2004 US Naval Academy graduate was killed in Afghanistan when his
Black Hawk helicopter crashed during combat operations in 2010. Looney was a football and lacrosse player at
DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, MD and at the Naval Academy.

Looney recognized the value amateur athletics could play in
the lives of young men and women and the unifying effect of amateur athletics
among diverse groups of people.

The Costa Mesa, CA
based Foundation will host annual sporting events as part of the Foundation’s
overall activities. The
events are designed to increase awareness of military service and support
assistance programs for active members of the military, veterans, and their
families while highlighting the importance of community service.

Sponsors for the games include Under Armour as the
title sponsor, ESPN, Fox Sports, Time Warner Cable, PlayOn! Sports, San Diego
Sports Commission, CIF-San Diego section and Signing Day.
